Effects of intima stiffness and plaque morphology on peak cap stress
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Rupture of the cap of a vulnerable plaque present in a coronary vessel may cause myocardial infarction and death. Cap rupture occurs when the peak cap stress exceeds the cap strength. The mechanical stress within a cap depends on the...
